Do I need a board for non-profit startup?

[@vrushalilengare9977]

In that case it's best if I stay out of the board from the beginning and take a contractor or employee position and get paid right?

[@BossonaBudget]

There’s no one perfect scenario. If that’s your preference it can definitely work.

What if you don't want to be on the board from the start of your non-profit

[@BossonaBudget]

You don't have to be on the board at all if that's not something you want to do. It's an individual decision.

[@sacredmorningcoffee141]

@@BossonaBudget thank you

I’m a bit confused still.
I want to start an adult day program. I would be on the board. First I will have to do work to get it going to eventually I’ll have enough clients and have an income to support staff. From there I wish to transition to full time board and oversee all that operates within this program. I can’t get paid as being on the board?

[@BossonaBudget]

Board and staff are two different positions. Board members oversee the overall organization and staff handle day-to-day. You can’t oversee yourself as the Exec Director if that’s what you wish to be.
